1: Inspect 5 places, then the window

Zoom into the wall picture, arrange shelf toy soldiers, and inspect height marks left of the door and the red door. Turn every page of the desk book. The bedside matchbox is control practice, separate from required departure checks.

2: Rotate the matchbox to drop the key

Climb the ladder beyond the forest bench into the house. Take the desk matchbox and rotate it until it opens and drops a key. Put it down, collect the key, and use the right door. Cross the bridge/cave, then follow vines and ladders to your sister.

3: Aim at pinecones

Retrieve the glowing stone after throwing. Hit the airborne pinecone 2 times where it slows at the apex. When your sister calls, throw from a distance; standing too close prevents the next scene.

4: Locations of 8 hide-and-seek gnomes

Turn the bell-tower handle fully, inspect the village's closed door, then enter the center. Gather gnomes from the 8 places below to open it.

5: Herd 4 into the enclosure

Mushroom people run away from your approach. Approach from outside to herd 4 into the enclosure. Follow your sister across leaves and logs afterward, crossing collapsing logs without stopping.
